Contracted form of Jehoiachin or Jehoiakim. According to the apocryphal Gospel of James, Saint Joachim was the husband of Saint Anne and the father of the Virgin Mary. His popularity during the Middle Ages led to widespread adoption of the name across Christian Europe, though it was never common in England.
